How many Eyefi cards can connect to a computer with Direct Mode?

Direct Mode connections are limited to one Eyefi card per phone, tablet, or computer at a time.

How do Eyefi cards prioritize wireless connections when Direct Mode is enabled?

Direct mode has a lower priority than ad-hoc and Wi-Fi infrastructure networks. If you want to primarily use Direct Mode to transfer photos and you will be in an environment where there are other networks that your Eyefi card might use, you should probably remove all other wireless networks from your Eyefi card so that the Direct Mode network is always available.
